Bromance brewing? Trump is sure Iran’s Rouhani is ‘a lovely man’

Trump thanked Kim for the steps he has taken.

He said talks with North Korea are ongoing on many different fronts and the United States is not ready to throw in the towel on denuclearization.

The UAE, Saudia Arabia and Qatar have pledged billions of dollars to aid the people of Syria and Yemen, and they are pursuing multiple avenues to ending Yemen’s disgusting, horrific civil war.

I commend the people of Jordan and other neighboring countries for hosting refugees from this very brutal civil war.

Every solution to the humanitarian crisis in Syria must include a strategy to address the brutal and corrupt regime in Iran that has fuelled and financed it, he continued.

Trump saved his harshest rhetoric for the regime in Iran, which he castigated for sowing “chaos, death and destruction” in the Middle East.

Mr Rouhani sharply criticised Mr Trump’s decision to withdraw from the 2015 global nuclear deal with Iran, which was negotiated under former U.S. president Barack Obama. “We will no longer tolerate such abuse”.

The commander in chief reaffirmed support for Israel and his decision to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem. It’s why, even as the world grapples with the worst crisis of displaced people since World War II, Trump repeatedly attempts to slash USA funding for humanitarian assistance and withdraws America’s role as a leader in trying to address crises from Syria to Myanmar.

“Other countries did not grant us fair and reciprocal access to their market in return”, he said. “China’s market distortions and the way they deal can not be tolerated”. But in a live appearance on Monday’s News at Nine, former Italian Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi said he sees a shift in Europe’s mood on the issue.

Donald Trump’s attack against the International Criminal Court, an organization the United Nations indirectly works with, although not unexpected, was clearly a statement of not backing down.

But Mr. Trump went after a series of world bodies, including the World Trade Organization, the oil-producing OPEC coalition, and the International Criminal Court, which he said has “no legitimacy”. He has disrupted the world order by withdrawing the United States from the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris climate accord, and threatened to punish North Atlantic Treaty Organisation nations for not paying more for their common defense.

Iran was quick to blame regional allies of the United States.

The president also stated opposition to the global compact on migration, an worldwide agreement on migration policy, and the worldwide Criminal Court in the Hague.

Describing the situation in Venezuela as a human tragedy, he urged Member States to call for the restoration of democracy in that country. “We defend many of these nations for nothing, and then they take advantage of us by giving us high oil prices”.

“The United States is committed to a future peace and stability in the region, including peace between the Israelis and Palestinians”, he said.

The German diplomats got a kick out of this portion of the speech, but it’s hard to tell if they’re reacting to the actual substance of what Trump is saying, or if they are chuckling over the president’s failed attempts at pronouncing the word “expansionist”. “We reject the ideology of globalism”.
